Sun bear: Difference between revisions

'''Sun bears''' may have only one mate for their whole life, at any time of the year. They normally raise 2 or 3 cubs and do not leave them until they can survive on their own; 2 years. Cubs, after the female's gestation period of 3 months, are hairless, blind, and weigh 10 to 15 ounces. They become sexually maturity in short time, males in 3 years, and females in only 2 years. These young are often kept as pets for people because they are playful and attractive. But they become more dangerous as they grow older, which leads us to leave them to wild or zoo. And they will live for 25 to 28 years of life. [http://www.honoluluzoo.org/sun_bear.htm]
